Alea~Lifestyle Portraits

When I was 19 I had a perm, gigantic teased early 90’s hair (representing upstate NY well!) I was boy crazy, talked too much, and was selfish. Now I had great qualities too but when I think back to how immature and silly I looked, I cringe. Continue Reading

I have a very large post planned centered around Rhett’s amazing birth on February 12th…but that puppy is going to take a serious amount of brain power to write so for now I am going to finish up the last few “Best of” posts I have planned. I am totally stoked about this category as […] Continue Reading

Not everyone can pull off “the look”. You know, the one where eyes penetrate a lens and you are drawn into a photo in the most mysterious way… like you just learned something about a complete stranger.

In a weird twist of fate we found out both grooms went to high school together and know each other but had no idea they had the same wedding photographers…..US!!! Continue Reading

Well this is Sara and Todd’s run on the internet. I believe they will be signing autographs this Friday from 5:00-8:00pm at Barnes and Noble….Kidding. I woke up this morning to the sweetest post on The Brides Cafe on Kellan Studios featuring Sara and Todd’s super fly shoot and giving us some big, fat sloppy […] Continue Reading

We were so honored to be asked by Janie at The Brides Cafe to come photograph another lifestyle shoot.

We had an awesome time working together so when Janie was sent some incredible vintage dresses from […] Continue Reading

Our third and final installment of Sara and Hot Toddie. I am so excited to share this last set. In some ways it is my favorite. Probably because Ryan and I are friends with them so we know how much they laugh together as a couple and how laid back they are. These pictures really focus […] Continue Reading
